Tomato, Rice and Italian Sausage Soup image

I hope you enjoy this soup, which I've been making for what seems like forever!! 10/09 NOTE: This recipe is my original one, made when the kids were little and didn't like too much spice. Now I sometimes doctor it up adding garlic, red pepper flakes, or whatever. This soup is very forgiving, so do your own thing! I originally did not add the sugar quantity in the recipe, so have now corrected this.

Just made this soup and it was delicious! I used ground beef instead of sausage and it was still really good. The rice and tomatoes cooked perfectly and the soup was very flavorful. Will definitely make this again.
